Colbert takes on Rand Paul’s Syria incoherence and ‘slumbering wombat’ hairstyle
Stephen Colbert skewered 2016 presidential hopeful Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)’s “all over the place” approach to how to handle the situation in Syria, as well as the gelled snarl of curls on top of the senator’s head, which Colbert likened to a “slumbering wombat” that could “strike at any time.”
After Pres. Barack Obama laid out the case once again for military intervention in Syria Tuesday night, Paul made his own rebuttal speech, then made the rounds of the cable news shows, seeming to argue multiple cases at once for and against attacking the Assad regime.
Paul was saying over and over that he doesn’t “know whether to trust the Russian proposal or not.”
“Agreed!” Colbert said. “Death it is! Regime change! Shock and awe! Bombs away!”
Then he played a clip from another interview in which Paul said, “I think if we bomb Assad, it will become more likely that the country will become more unstable,”
and another clip in which the freshman senator direly warned of “just about any bad outcome” you can imagine if we do bomb Syria.
“Okay, I was wrong. This is the Rand Paul I agree with,” said Colbert.
“So, just to recap,” he concluded, “Rand Paul says no diplomacy, but we can’t do nothing, but no to the president’s plan and no to regime change.”

Like libertarian fans, Rand Paul is a mental midget, an idiot, a fraud, a nutjob, riding on the fringe-y coattails of his screwball father.
KY jelly for brains!
